Thoughts on Sig P250?

[Pistolgrip Pump]

Likes? Dislikes? Read a few reviews and watched a few videos but I wanted to hear from you guys. I'd mainly be interested in the full size 45 model. I've owned a P220 before and didn't shoot it that well. I've also owned a Glock 21 and shot that much better, but I'm not sure why. The Sig was much heavier, but I feel like it recoiled much more, or just differently. I was able to keep the Glock on target and provide follow-up shots much easier. Is the P250 the same way? How does it compare to a P220? Does it even compare to a Glock at all? Thanks.

Questions about the 250 are best directed to Sigforum.com or sigtalk.com. The 250 wasn't a popular seller in CA due to its absence from the roster and it's main selling point, modularity was rendered moot due to the state's requirement to DROS a full sized frame, then perform a second DROS for the carry sized frame.

The P320 looks more promising than the 250, as long as SSE is an option. The early buzz out there compares the trigger to a PPQ which is a big plus.

I have seen them from time to time and have no interest in changing the size or caliber so neither of those are drawbacks in my eyes. How does it hold up mechanically? Is the P320 already out and floating around the marketplace? I'm assuming it's not on the roster. Sorry I'm not too informed on Sigs. Does the striker fire design change the trigger vs the hammer fired 250?

The P250 is double action only and it has the best double action trigger of any other semi-auto, as good as a revolver. The people who dislike it have issues with shooting double action only handguns.

Is the SRT a common upgrade on this like the 226 etc.. ? I never had one on my 220 but I hear alot of people recommend them

Besides the DAO vs SA/DA and the interchangeability, how does it compare to the 2022?

I installed the SRT trigger on a friends 250. The previous owner, another friend didnt like it. Luckily, i knew about the frame/SRT trick and the "long" travel was turned into a very nice short trigger comparable or even better than a 229 i had owned. Only took about five minutes and it was a different gun all together. Stock, the trigger is indeed very very long, once you hit the wall you think youre close but another long pull comes after. Once you swap that SRT in youll see the difference.

The P250 is a great gun, but with the availability of striker fired weapons, it never took off.

With Sigs new P320, the P250 will drop even more in price. BUds has them for 399 already.

I will be buying one to train my kids on in the future. Its a very long, but very nice DAO trigger. Great for training proper control.

I just got off the phone with Sig on Friday... P320 wont be available for the civilian market until next year. They are focusing on department sales this year.

They wont even sale to individual officers.

The trigger looks amazing on video FWIW...

Are you talking about a short reach trigger, or short reset trigger? the P250's reset is non existent.

The short reach, its a different shaped trigger not the short reset trigger the other sigs can take advantage of.

Yeah I know what it is... Just people use SRT for both when referring to sig.

Thats because when you look the parts up to buy them theyre both called SRT :-p

I have one and shot a few boxes of ammo through them.
I have kits for compact 9 and compact 45.

The trigger reminds of a revolver. It was pretty smooth but long. I would have to agree with earlier comment about no reset available in the trigger. Maybe, it is just me but I couldn't find it.

Also, I found that the "movement" of the hammer very distracting. When I was aiming for a shot, lining up front and rear sight and slowly squeezing the trigger, I can just see enough of hammer movement to mess with concentration.

Also, the interchangeability (if there is a such word) of different kit isn't easy as they advertised switching from 9mm to 45. There were some extra steps involving 45 caliber.

Comparing P250 to Sig 220, Glock 21 & Glock 30, I would go with P220 over P250. Also, I would pick Glock 21/30 trigger over P250 because of hammer movement.

If you are ever in my neighborhood, I will be happy to let you try my 250.

The Sig P250 is unique - the 'gun' - I mean the serialized receiver-like internal metal component requiring FFL transfer per ATF - is a small U-shaped piece of metal.

Other parts of the gun - the various sized plastic gripframes, slide/bbl assemblies, small parts, etc. are all acquireable via mail order or non-FFL parts supplier.

This small piece of U-shaped metal that is the 'serialized receiver' appears to be very easy to make by someone reasonably competent in a machine shop.

With this part made by you in your shop and the other parts (slide, plastic gripframe, small parts) not being FFL-restricted, this gun would be the easiest home-built quality pistol out there.

[Remember, building a homebuilt pistol requires it to be built as a single-shot-exempt, dimensionally compliant, pistol before it can be converted to other legal uses.]
